Manually Archiving Upgrade Log Files

Upgrades: All upgrades.

Environments: All environments

This topic is part of an upgrade process. See Performing a Siebel Database Upgrade.

After a successful installation and upgrade, you must manually save and archive the log files located in the SIEBEL_ROOT/LOG/process (Windows) directory.

By default, only nine (9) upgrade log files are retained for subsequent retries of the Siebel Upgrade Wizard. After nine log files have been created, when the Siebel Upgrade Wizard is rerun, it overwrites log files beginning with the earliest one created and recycles the rest as necessary. (This does not apply to the state.log file.)

The number of log files retained can be increased by resetting the siebel_log_archive environment variable, for example, set the variable to 20 to retain twenty (20) log files.
